ago recommended your Hop Bitters to
my invalid wife, who has been under medi-
cal treatment Of Albany's best physicians
several years. She has been greatly bene-
fitted and still uses the medicine. | be-

her various complicated diseases by their
use. We both recommend them to our

Prejudice Kills,

eleven years our daughter suffered on q
bed Of misery under the care OF several Of
the best physicians, who gave her disease
various names but no relief, and now she
is restored to us in good health by Hop
before using it. We earnestly hope and
pray that no one else will let their sick
suffer as we did, on account OF prejudice
against so good medicine as Hop Bitters."

Cured of Drinking.

IA young friend OF mine was cured Of an
Unsuitable thirst for liquor that had so pros
trated his system that he was unable to do
any business. He was entirely cured by the
use Of Hop Btters. 1t alldyed all that
burning thirst took away the appetite for
liquor; made his nerves steady; aud he has
remained a steady and sober man for more
than two years, and has no desire to return
to his cups, and know of number Of
others that have been cured OF drinking by
it."-From leading Il. Il. Official, Chi

LOVES LAST NyORn:

Coal Is very high.
Father thinks II Isn't right
You should come here every nlght,
Staying TIL the fire is low.
just TO spoon and sigh.
Calling me your "littlc sweet"
Does not pay for gas;
While your lonely heart may yearn,
In the chandeliers there burn
Jets that make thousand feet
O'er the meter pass.
Love, / know, completely fills
Life's void gallery;
Yet, while these dear moments haste,
Think how many dollars waste
Coal and gas and other bills
Fathers salary
Then, prithee, dear one, brace
Do but speak the word
Else must to father yield,
Else must you vacate the field,
Else must some one take your place

A PRETTY PUZZLE.
How Bright Little Midget showed Her
Love for Mamma.

How Bright Little Midget Showed Her
Love for Mamma.
Mrs. Blanchard was entertaining
some friends in the parlor one evening
when she heard small voice she knew
SO well saying: "Pleasc excuse, me,
mamma" Thcnshe saw little figure
standing in the doorway in a long
white gown, with tangled curls and
bright eyes. too bright for ten o'clock
at night. thought Mrs. Blanchard.
Midget ran across the, room to the
refuge that had never failed-mother'
arms. Mamma, DEAR" pleaded the
little night owl, II just learned to-day
how to tell you love you in such a
beautiful new way. Please, may ]
show youp Tn so 'fraid I'll forget by
morning." Midget held up her
dimpled fingers. '.Now, every body
do just as do" she said, gleefully.
''Hold your thumbs together so. now
the next fingers the same way, but the
next to that you must double in tight"
She held her chubby fingers in this
position. the palms together. the thumbs
lightly touching, also the forefngers,
but the second fingers folded in so that
her rosy nails and the dimples that
stood for knuckles touched, then the
third and fourth fingers met at the tips
as the thumbs and forefngers did.
''Now," cried Midget, in great delight,
chow far can you 60 from the nurse?"
and she parted the thumbs as far as
they would 60. ':Now, how far from
the cook?" and the forefngcrs went
apart.
Then in suppressed glee she carefully
explained: "You must skip the folded
fingers and 60 to the next. Now how far
can you go from your dear, sweet
mammal" she cried in great triumph.
And odd it was that those queer little
fingers would NO. separate and the more
you tried the closer they were, not
Midget's tiny fingers. but papa's strong
ones and Judge Mills wrinkled ones.
AS long as the second fingers are held
in. bondage the third ones will not sepa-
rate. Try it.-Christian Weekly
